Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam formed in Seattle in 1990, when Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard put together a new band after the end of Mother Love Bone and brought in Californian singer Eddie Vedder. Debut album Ten broke through worldwide in 1992 and placed the band alongside Nirvana and Soundgarden at the centre of grunge. What followed was a deliberately contrary course: barely any more music videos, a years-long dispute with ticket seller Ticketmaster, and from 2000 onwards the release of entire concerts as official 'bootlegs', 72 of them from the Binaural tour alone. Musically the line runs from the raw Vs. and Vitalogy through the introspective No Code and the political Riot Act to Gigaton and Dark Matter, with Vedder's lyrics about powerlessness, loss, and resistance. Pearl Jam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
This collection brings together Pearl Jam on vinyl, LP and CD: studio albums, reissues of the classics, compilations, and official live recordings.
